Nunican - Know My Name (feat. Batya Belle)

There is nothing for me here
My time is running out my dear
Come and Look at what I made
They will know my name
This the shit that can’t be captured in a Caption or hashtag
I just hope I never crash into the chasm of the cash grab
Flash back to the simpler days
When he was livin off of brisk and a minimum wage
Sure it was prison more akin to a cage
within a system contained
But saw the light through the prism of rain
There’s Something to be said about a structure and a balance
And though control can be exiting it can also be a challenge
existence is a drag, have to add your own laugh track
Depression is a bad friend conjuring a last laugh
Phantom of his past stabbed backs and failures
Tynna trade a half dead patch of grass for azaleas
A zillion Ragtag synapses grasp at straws
Can only guess when the axe will fall
half past high noon, find a mirror to lie to
Find an ear to cry to, gearing up a typhoon
Play the victim card
The system’s hard
This the damn epiphany
I’m the Epitome of prima donnas pissed off at the industry
The Kid's Just a cyst been ditched by the symphony
Fishing for assistance but he reel in reality.
Appealing mentality, pity and shame
The walk to fame’s a non euclidean plain
Its insane
It’s a chain
Keep thinking maybe I’ll be the one that breaks it
Walks right up to the gold and takes it
one life this my one chance to get this right then alright then
Even if it spirals at least I tried it
So With every waking breath, every sleepless night grinding
Fuck a slow death, I’mma live or die trying.
There is nothing for me here
My time is running out my dear
Come and Look at what I made
They will know my name
Dipped my toes in the slow depression tide pool
Now I wear the crown on a constant downward spiral
Maybe more analogous to climbing Escher’s staircase
Or Sisyphus definitely arising to his rare fate
ascending or descending that depends on your perspective
Doesn’t make the ending any less like you expected
Here’s 100 pennies. Your time up here is rented
Now take this dollar and a dream and go out there and spend it
